Thanks all!
I think that I'll check for both variables to be absolutely 100% sure. I
could easily imagine future version of PHP slowly getting rid of deprecated
stuff like this to improve speed or something... Besides, the word
"deprecated" scares me ;)

To maintain absolute compatibility, just use $HTTP_GET_VARS. It's
availalable in all PHP versions, just deprectaed in versions here $_GET
is available.
